Parish Lunch: It was such a super lunch last Sunday. Thank you very much for all the delicious food and lovely company; it was a very happy occasion.
Foodbank: Weekly Message from Lynda Delf - On Sunday 5th July, 7kg of food was donated in Church and a parishioner gave 6kg of food and £10.00; this will provide 16 meals in total. Thank you so much for your support.
This week, university students have left Durham and as part of Green Move Out, they have generously given food to the foodbank; we have had a very busy week sorting through these donations!
This week, our shortages include rice, jam, sugar, teabags, kettle food (such as noodles and instant soup), long-life fruit juice and milk. We always need household cleaning materials, toilet rolls, tinned meat, fish, potatoes, tomatoes, fruit and rice pudding; thank you.
My Sabbatical: I will be on sabbatical leave from August until 3rd November. The church services will continue as normal. During this period please send all items for these notices to Jane Walker at the parish office.
For your Prayers: Amongst the Sick - Angie Robley

With All Good Wishes and Prayers, Peter.
